BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION—FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention related to transfer of energy to/from the air/gaseous substance and/or liquids moving through dynamic fan tubing blades and transferring that energy into/from the air/gaseous substance that is passing over the dynamic fan tubing blades.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION—PRIOR ART

There are many applications to transfer heat to/from water, water solutions, refrigerants, and various liquids and/or gaseous compounds to a gaseous/air stream. An example are buildings such as hospitals, schools, and federal buildings along with many other applications that require environmental controls including temperature controls using various pieces of equipment to meet the requirements of the building. Various residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and other industries require systems that can transfer heat to meet the requirements to fulfill the needs and requirements of their business.

Presently, the common method of transferring heat is using coils with fins, and fans or blowers, and housings, and controls as a portion of a system to transfer heat to/from a liquid and/or gaseous mixture to a gaseous/air stream. The purpose is to transfer heat to/from a substance to air streams.

Thereafter, inventors created several types of heat transfer devices that remove/add heat from an air stream. The heat/cool exchanger assemblies and plate coil heat/cool exchanger assemblies are separate from the fan assemblies. The fan/blower assemblies are not primarily for heat recovery, but to provide movement to the air streams.

The system presented here, Dynamic Centrifugal Heat transfer Blower Wheel System, combines heat/cool exchange assemblies with fan/blower assemblies to create a single economical unit. The exchange of heat and production of an air stream occur concurrently as a centrifugal blower wheel with hollow blades rotates, externally creating air circulation, and internally, air/gases or liquids moves through a hollow stationary shaft into an airtight space where it moves through the hollow blades prior to ejected from the system. This unique design requires less material than traditional, common design of separate heat/cool exchange and fan/blower assemblies and allows for the use of aluminum, plastic, stainless steel, exotic materials, plated steel, etc. either individually or in combination with other materials. Design criteria would be able to use different materials that would handle different temperatures, air flows, type of gases, liquids, contaminants, etc. that come in contact within the system.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention herein is a unique centrifugal blower wheel with heat transfer embedded in the blades that concurrently direct air flow while providing energy transfer from the air/gaseous substance and/or liquids moving through the dynamic fan tubing.
